duty weapon. The suspect and a vehicle were struck, before the suspect fled in a vehicle.
Other officers in the area located the fleeing vehicle and stopped it in the 4300 block of East
Valley Road. The suspect was detained, and immediate medical care was rendered until
Fire Department personnel and King County Medic One personnel took over. The suspect
was transported to Harborview Medical Center for additional care.
